- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2016I am a big fan of Pixiwoo and was thrilled to get their debut book!
The information is so thorough and in-depth that it educates but it's also light so it remains an enjoyable read. As well as this, the photographs are beautiful and the make-up looks themselves are striking and inspiring. The free app/interactive element brings the book to life and it's almost like you have Sam and Nic sat next to you giving you personalised advice. It is the perfect book to refer back to and can be shared amongst the whole family from teens to more mature ladies. As well as the informative nature of Face, the quality and design also makes it the perfect coffee table book.
All the time and effort put into this book is admirable, and the hardwork of Pixiwoo has paid off. Sam and Nic are an inspiration and I can't wait to follow the rest of their journey.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2016What can I say, it's all I expected and more from the amazing sisters that are Pixiwoo!
Full of AMAZING colourful photos of stunning makeup. Page after page of tips and tricks, written just how Sam and Nic speak, so if you are already a fan of their YouTube channel, and like how real they are, and how easy they make things, then you will ADORE this book!!
Looks great on any bookshelf or coffee table, and a book you can just pick up and flick through at your leisure, or as I do, keep it on my bed side table and read it in bed with a cuppa at bedtime 😊
With the amazing free app that accompanies this book, you can find tutorials and videos easily, just brilliant!!!
I salute you Sam and Nic!!! A+
For any makeup fans, or Pixiwoo fans, what are you waiting for, order your copy 👌🏻👌🏻
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2016I don't usually leave reviews just because I can't be bothered to be honest :D This book is AMAZING! This is the bible of make-up for me ( I know it sounds funny) The most amazing thing is that it comes with an app full of amazing video content as well. I've learned so much more than I did before reading it. It's so beautifully made with the colours and the amazing quality of the pictures. I can see why Nic 7 Sam took longer to make it. It's absolutely fabulous. There are sections on skin care, makeup base, eye looks, tools. You know the stuff that every makeup book has but there is so much information that I never expected to get in this book. I got introduced to Caroline Hirons thanks to this book. She's an amazing skincare expert for those of you wondering. Yeah, great investment.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2016This is a nice "back to basics" makeup book. I really like the tips they give and the videos with the app are a useful add on. I was hoping they would take it a bit further and have some suggestions for being super creative with makeup looks, eye makeup etc (for those of us who like makeup, but aren't able to go to makeup school). I love their videos and they are absolutely lovely people - I can hear their personality come out in how they've written it. They have a lot of helpful suggestions about face shape and are keen to help you look like the best version of yourself (not whatever the trend is on instagram or the red carpet) - I like that!
The only thing I would change about the book is the suggestion to only use exfoliators that have plastic beads in them instead of natural ones. These little plastic beads are an environmental disaster - please don't use them :-) But apart from that, all the info is great!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2016What a fabulous book. I have recently returned to college part time to study Media Makeup, with me being a part time student that means I have to do a lot of the theory work at home. I must say this book has taught me so much already and I'm not even half way through it yet. 100% going to recommend it to everyone in my class. Adore it!!! The information is not written in a conplex way, it's nice and chatty, easy to follow and understand for people who are not in the industry already. If you're just passionate about makeup, in the industry or an absolute novice with makeup then this book is for you. The tutorials in the app are a real bonus. I just can't sing this books praises enough. BUY ITTTTTTT!! And thanks Pixiwoo for the fabulous book, I will be passing my course with flying colours now all thanks to you.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2018"Now, they have compiled their extensive knowledge into one book" they absolutely did not.
It's an okay book with some nice tips and great photographs but saying this is the compilation of vast/great knowledge is pure bollocks.
Based on the description I was hoping for kind of a one stop shop book - this ain't it, chief.
If you supplement it with further reading and research, it's fine but it's not a standalone piece by any means. However, if you're gonna have to do so much homework, what's the point of spending actual money and not just google what you want?
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2016This book is amazing, very well written and informative Sam and Nic Chapman are creative, very talented hard working make up artists, not only have they created the amazing book with the free face app to accompany this there have a global brush and make up sponge brand real techniques which are amazing. if you are into make up or want to get into it this book is for you.
cannot recommend it enough i would even give it more than five stars if there were more to give
all the best to the chapmans such insperational woman and hard working career driven down to earth individuals. xxx

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like having a personal make up artist!!
I found the girls of Pixiwoo a little over 5 years ago, and I haven't stopped watching them since. Their tutorials are fabulously balanced with their professional knowledge and their simple and straight forward manner. I always feel as though I am sitting across the table from a favorite girlfriend learning how to do a new make up look. This book is full of needed information (I will learn to do my brows, I swear it!), and sounds just like they do in their videos, with a tone that is warm, friendly, and really caring that I know how to look my best!
The photos are fabulous and the information is timeless. Well done girls!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Innovativo dal punto di vista multimediale, nella norma per i contenuti
Sono appassionata di trucco da anni e ho letto (e posseggo) diversi libri sull'argomento.
A livello di contenuti lo definirei abbastanza banale per un esperto, piacevole e abbastanza utile per chi invece è alla prime armi.
Interessanti alcuni intermezzi autobiografici delle due autrici, che illustrano meglio l'esperienza lavorativa che hanno potuto accumulare negli anni.
Molto carina e innovativa l'idea di mettere a disposizione dei contenuti multimediali tramite una app gratuita che permette di collegare a determinate pagine del libro alcuni video registrati ad hoc (naturalmente in inglese) che integrano i contenuti del libro stesso e richiamano fortemente il background delle due vlogger britanniche.
Per l'edizione Kindle questi contenuti sono più difficilmente fruibili, perché i video partono solo se si inquadrano le pagine ad hoc con la telecamera del telefonino. Questo significa che per vedere il materiale extra dovete per forza di cose leggere il libro con un dispositivo diverso dal vostro telefonino. Una piccola scocciatura, ma comunque superabile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative
I love makeup and it is always hard to really know when you are doing a good job. This book is a handbook that, if paired with a mirror and a lot of patience you can actually learn and have a master class on makeup from the confort of your own home.
